Now His4 I'it to Re"tore Quen ,i1i Waa Cheeke'41-Stevens I1itand for Her Ovoittirt-w-Ministor W1111, Instrue iio hs. WA,sINGTON, Dec. 18.-The Presi. dent's message upon tfie Hawaiian complication was sent to Congress to. (,4y. It is a document. of about. six thousand words and the instructions to Minister Willis, which were sent to the Se-nal e but rnot. to the louse, make an additional 3.500 words. Following is a synol,sis of the President's. mes sage:. ii his opeuir,g paragraphs the Presi dent sa3s: "Though I am not able now to report a delinite change in the actal situation. I am convinced that the difficultigs lately created both here and in Hawaii, and now standing in the way of a solution through execu tive action of the problem presented, render it proper and expedient that the matter should be referred to the broad er authority and discretion of Con gress, with a full explanation of the en deavor thus far made to deal with the emergency aod a statement of the con siderations which have governed my action. I suppose that right and jus tice baould determine the path to be followed in treating this subject. If national honesty is to be disregarded and a desire for territorial extension or dissatisiaction with a form of govern ment not our own ought to regulate our conduct. I bave entirely inisap prehended the mission and character of our government and the behavior which theconscience of our people de mands et their public servants." Mr. Cleveland then gives a history of the situation as lie found it upon tak ing office, the then pending treaty of annexation, its withdrawal by himself, and the sending of Mr. Blount to in-' vestigate the facts attending the nego tiation of the treaty and the overthrow' of the Queen's government. Mr. Blount's report accompanies the mes sage. It has been published already. Of this report., Mr. Cleveland says: "The report, with its accompanying proofs and such other eviderce as is now before the Congress or is herewith submitted, justiles, in my opinion, the statement that when the President was led to submit the treaty to the Senate. with the declaration that 'the over throw of the monarchy was not in any way promoted by this government,' and when the Senate was induced to receive and discuss it on that basif, 4( both President and Senate were mis led." Discussing the facts and evidence re lating to t he inception of the annex ation movement in Hawaii, Mr. Cleve land observe s: '-The project was one which w. s zealously proioted by the minister representing the United States in that country. He e(vidently had an ardent desire that it should become a fact ac comphshed by his agency and during his ministry, and was not inconve nient. scrupulous as to the means em plOe-d to that 1nd. On the 19t h day of Wovemter, 1892 nearly two mouths befoje th- firsi, overt act tending to wards the subversion of the Hawaiian governm-nt and the attempted iraus ter of Hawaiian Ierritory to the Unit.ed Statis, he addrt-sse d a long letter to thi ; cretary of S ate, in which the Cabt for ainixatin was elaborately I argut-jd on mori, poli, ical and ecououl ical proutid. lie re fers to 11ih' loss to the Hawaiian sugar inter--ts from i ie opeitttiott of the MKituley hill, ani t he ten de iccy to still I curt ne r dlepreiL-a tion of sugar properta unles some pos itive measure of relief is gratnted. Ile sttrngly iaveighs against ihle exist lng cally declares for ai.istxation. lie says: 'In trut.b, thle monarchy I ere is an ah sutd anachronism. it has nothing on S which it. logically or legiltimately st ands. The feudali basis on~ whieb i1. mice stoodi no longer txistag, t,he monarchy now is only an impedliment to good government-m a ob-troe jirn to t he prosperit y andl a e islands.'" quoting further andi liberally from Minister Si evens's commeinteat ion to the State l)epartinenit, Mr Cleveland says: "Those declarations certainly show 4 a disposition and condition of mind which may be usefully recalledl when interpretirig the signilleanice of the munister's conceded acts or when con sid' ring thle probabilities of such con - duct. ani his part as may not be ad mitted ." in this view the Presidenit quotes from a letter from Stevens, dated March 6.1892, in which Stevens asks for information as to his powers and duties in the event of a revolution oc S curing in IIonolulu; and also one dat ed February 1, 1893, in which Stevens de clares that: "The IIawaiian pear is now fully ripe, and this is the golden hou' r for the United States to pluck Ntr, Stevns's protectorate incident is also referi ed to. The President re hearses the incidents attending the overthrow of the Quieen, ani frorm them gives this deduction: "Thus it appears that Ihawaii was taken possession of by the United States forces, without the consent or WIBh of the government of the islands or of anybody else, so far as shown, ex cept the United States Minister. There. fore, the m'ilitary occupation of Ilon olulu by the United States on the (lay mentioned was wholly without jtistili cation, either as ain occuipation by con Bent or as an occupation necessitated by dangers threatening American life and property. it must be accounted for in same other way and on some nther ground, and its real motive and purpose are neither obscure nor far to seek." In further discussing these events, the kPresident says: "When our minia ter recognized the provisional govern ment, the only basis upon which it rested was the fact that the commit tee of safety had in the m.nner above stated declatred it to exist. It was S netther a government de facto nor de jure." Of the state of perplexity in which this state of things placed the Queen Mr. Cleveland says: "If the Q--4een could have dealt with the irnsurgents alone, her course would have been plain and the result would have beene unmistakable. Blut th Inited States had allied itself with her enemies, had recognizal them ai the true government of Iliwall, anc had put her and her adherents in th4 position of Opposition against lawfu' authori'y. She knew that she could rot withstand the powerof the United Statel, but she believed that she mighi safely trust to its justice. Accor(Ing. ly, some hours after the recognlzrion of the provisional government by thc United Statcs minister, the palace, the barracks and the police station, with all the military resources of the coun try, were delivered up by the Queen upon the representation to her that her cause would thereafter be review ed at Washington, and while protest ing that she surrendered to the supe rior force of the United States, whos minister had caused United States troops to be landed at Honolulu and declared that he would support the provisional government. and that sh( yielded her authority to prevent collie ion ot armed forces and loss of life,and only until such time as the United States, upon the facts being presented to it should undo the action of its rep resentative and reinstate her in the au thority she claimed as the constitu tional sovereign of the llawaiian Is lands." Mr. Cleveland cites a number of pre cedents as telling against the action oJ the United States in the present case among them the admission of Texas ai a part of our Union, the revolutions I Brazil, Chile and Tenezuela, and sumi up as follows: "As I apprehended the situation, w4 are brought face to lace with the fol lowing conditions. "The lawful government of Hawa: was overthrown without the drawini of a sword or the firing of a shot, by E process every step of which, it may b safely asserted, is directly traceable tc and dependent for its success upor the agency of the United States. acting through its diplomatic and naval rep. resentatives. "But for the notorious predelictione of the United States minister for an nexation, the committee of safety, which should be called the committee of annexation, would never have ex. isted. "But for the landing of the United States forces, upon false pretexts res. pecting the danger to life and proper ty, the committee would never havf exposed themselves to the pains and penalties of treason by undertaking the subversion of the Queen's govern ment. "But for the presence of the Unite( States forces in the immediate vicinit and in position to afford all need pro tection and support, the committei would not have proclaimed the provis ional government from the steps of thi government building. "And, finally, but for the lawless oc cupation of Honolulu under false pre texts by the United States forces, an( but for Minister Steven's recognitioi of the provisional government whei the United States forces were its so support and constituted its only mill tary strength, the Queen and her gov erninent would never have yielded t( the provisional government, even for f time, and for the sole purpose of sub mitting ner case to the enlightenec justice of the United States. "Believing, therefore, that the Uni ted Si ates could not, under the circum stances disclosed, annex the island. WIiLhout justly incurring the imputa tion of acquiring them by unjustilla t-le methods, I shall not again submi t he treaty of annexation to the Senato for its consideration, and in the in st ruct ions to Minister Williq, a copy o: whii-b accompanies this mssage, have directed him to s inform th provisional government." Mr. Cleveland s - here that, in hi opitin, our duty dos not end with re I uiImL to onisumniate this questiona ble t ranisaction, butt that "a suibstan tial wr ong has thus been done, whici a duet regard for our national charac it 7, 8s well as the rights of the injure people, requires wve should endeavor ti repair," and that the United State cannrot properly be put in the positio; of counit'nancbng a wrong after it commission any more than in that a consenting to it in advance. On tha ground, it cannot allow itself to refus to rediress an ir.jury inflicted througl ant abuse of power by (.ilcers clothe, wit.h its authority and wearing th iuniformi; and, on the same ground, if' feeble butt friendly State is in danger o bintg robbed of its independence ani 1ts sovereignty by a misuse of the nam anid power of the United States, th United States cannot fall to vindicate its honor arnd its sense of justice by al earnest effort to make all possible rep aration" Tfhe President says: "I have not however, overlooked tan incident of thi unfortunate affair whichi remains ti be mentioned. The members of th pro visional government and their sup porters, though not entitled to extrem sympathy, have been led to their pret ent predlicament of revolt against th government of the Queen by the id tensible encouragement and assistane of our diplomatic representative. Thi fact may entitle them to claim that 11 our effort to rectify the wrong con mittedl some regard should be had to their safety. Tis sentiment is strong ly secondedi by my anxiety to do nott ing which would invite either hare retaliation on the part of te Q.ueen C violence and bloodshed in any quartei In the belief that the Queen, as well a her enemies, would be willing to adop such a course as would meet these cori ditionA, and in view of the fact tha both the Que-en and the p)rovisiona government had at one time apparent Jy acquiesced in a reference of the erl tire case to the United States goverri ment, and considering the further fac that in any event the provisional gos ernment, by its own declared limiti tion, was only to exiat until terms c union with the United States of Ame: ica have been negotiated and agree upon, I hoped that after the assuranc to ',he members of that governmen that such union could not be consum matedl, I might compass a peaceful ad justment or the difllculty. Actuated by these desires and pu: poses, and not unmindful of the inhet ent perpjlxities of the situation, nor c the limitat ions upon my poewer, I f structed Minister Willis to advise th Q~ueen and her supporters of my deir to aid In the restoration of the statu existing before the lawless landing c the United States forces at IIonolulu ol the 16th of JIanuary last, if such restor ationi be effected upon terms providin1 for clemency as well a. justice to a: parties concerned. The conditions sug gested, as the instructions show, con template a general amnesty to thos concerned in satting up the provisiosan government, and a recognition of a bona fide acts and obligations. In a they require that the past should I buried, and that the restoied go, ment should reassume its authoril if its continuity had not-been interi ed. These conditions have not pr acceptable to the Queen,and tnougi has been informed that they will b slated upon, and that unless acced the efforts of the President to aii the restoration of her government cease, I have not thus far learned she is willing to yield them her quiescence. "The check which my plans thus far encountered has previ their presentation to the membei the provisional government, while fortunate public misrepresentatiot the statements of the sentiment our people have obviously injured prospects of successful mediation. therefore, submit this communic; with its accompaning exhibits, em Ing Mr. Blount s report, the evid and statements taken by him at olulu, the instructions given both Blount and Minister Willis, and correspondence connected with ti fair in hand. "In commending this subject t extended powers and wide diser of the Congress, I desire to add th surance that I shall be much gra to co-operate in any legislative which may be devised for the soli of the problem before us, which is sistent with American honor, inte and morality.

THIS STATE ASKED TO CARE FOR ITS HEROIC DEAD. An A p proptlatiOU to Mark Their Re&tlag Plaeb on Chickaxnauga'g Bloody FielI Wanted--AUso One in "Ole vireiny.'1 COLU.MBIA, S. C., Dec. 16.-Gover n:3r Tillman last night sent to the Gea. eral Assembly the followitg message, which is interesting to patriotic Caro. liuians. He has asked a member of the Senate to prepare a resolution making tLe suggested appropriation: Gentlemen of the General Assembly: I transmit herewith a communication from Gen. A. P. Stewart In reference to the appointment of a commission from this State of o1cers engaged in the bat tle of Chickamauga to mark the pooi. tions on that battlefleld occupied by the South Carolina troops. The national government has provided for the pur chase of the battlefleld and the estab lishment of a national military park thereon. It is altogether desirable that the *'place in the picture" filled by our brave soldiers shall be commemorated the same as by other States. I there Fore advise that the Governor be au thorized to appoint a commission of flive Dfficers who participated In the battle to discharge this patriotic duty, and that an appropriation covering their actual expenses be made, so that the work may be done as suggested in Gen. Stewart's letter. Owing to the lapse of Lime and the changes in the face of the .ountry resulting therefrom, it may be a work of considerable difculty, requir ng some time to pertorm, and conse luently wll entail an expense of proba bly $750. In his letter Gea. S v irt sayp: "There were eight or teu S>u'44 "ar, Lina infantry regiments and several bat teries in the battle of Chickamauga, and no troops were more distinguished by heroic courage. They deserve to have their valor commemorated In this park. A State commission of five or ten sur. viving participants, with provision for paying their expenses, is very desirable, and we hope your State will take early action in the matter." WHAT A NORTHERNER PRoPosEs. An appeal comes from Virginia to the people of South Carolina to raise one half of the comparatively small sum of $600 or $800 for purpose of erecting a monument to the Confederate dead of this State, buried in the South Carolina lot in the Confederate Soldiers' cemetary at Winchester. About a month ago Wm. M. Atkin son, Eiq., an attornsy of Winchester, who married a South Carolina lady, wrote Governor Tillman a letter stating that Mr. Charles B. R0uss, a wealthy merchant of New York, had offered to Day one half of the cost of the erection of suitable monument to the memory of the 150 South Carolina soliders bur ried in the Winehester cemetery. Al realy, he .-aid, through the aid of a so ciety of ladies in Charleston, and with Mr. Rouse' aid, marble headstones had been placed at the graves of all these dead soldiers, and that nearly every other Southern State had already erect ed a monument their respective 0111 lers' inclosures. lie stated also that b1e was anxious to have the monument -eady to be univled on thb next memorial lay, June 8th, and asked 'tIe Governor ,o have the Legislature -Lppropriate jalf of the money needed or elift get the ?atriotic people of the State to ra'1116h%'-4 noney in somne way. Governor Tillman replied endorsing ,he effort and promising his encourage nent. Yesterday he received another etter urging haste in the matter. He iadl intended, he says, to send the let er to the Legislature as a message, but ilpon reflecbion concludes that the State ieedls all the money it can spare to take are o1 its living veterans. He thus lets he matter go to the people,-.hoping that ome patriotic organization will accept he offer of the New York gentleman nd( raise the nalance of the money. The Governor thinks that the difer nt Memorial Associations in the State night raise '.be money. Mr. Rouss, whiose generoslty will be appreciated by ~arolinans, wasi a brave iConfederate oldier. lie went to New York after he war and made a fortune. He has unilt a mausoleum in the Winchester emetery in which he will be buried vbenu hle dies, lie has spent hundreds >f dollars beautifying the cemetery. The Messenger Surdered. liI USToN, Tex., Dec. 19-A message vas received here last night calling for i herill's posse to go to Crosby. When he WMuthlern Pacific east bound train, which leaves here at 10 o'clock, reached i.iberty, John C. Richardso n, the Wells 'argo messenger, was found dead in his ar, and his head split open by a blow rom an axe and the car robbed. The >ody was left at Liberty. Sheriff Mlls, vith a posPe, left on a special engine. A number of negroes attempted to >oard t,be west bound train which passed ,ere just before the train east. The imount of plunder obtained is not known lichardsen was about thirty five years >ld and married and lived in New Or eans. From what can be learned it ippears that the train po: We on going nto the car found Richi.t daon dead, his eet near the "through" sate, with a iatchet near his head. Poor Girls. The poorest girls in the world are those who have never been taught to works Rich parents have petted them j they have been taught to despise labor and depend upon others for a living' and are perfectly helpless. If misfor tune comes upon their friends, as it of ten does, their case is hopeless. The most forlorn and miserable women on earth belong to this class. It belongs to parents to protect their daughters from this dep'orable condition. They do then a great wrong if they neglect it. Byvery daughter should be taught to earn her own living. The rich as well as the poor require this training. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around-the rich are very likely to be come poor, and the poor rich. 8till to labor Is no disadvantage tothe rich and is indispensable to the poor. Well40 do parents must educate their daugh ters to work; no reform is moie imper ative than this. Si ATE WAR RELIC MUSEUM. Irmnuturation of a MoVement to 9oonUe One. CoL.tMUIA, S.

I. 1 Farley: Da-ii I: Let me make a suggestion. S:ini ithcre are a great many relics of 'he Uftvolutionary as well as the Con !cderate war in the hands ot private parties that ought to be in a State mu scum. As time goes on these parties take les interest in them and my sugges tio s that you arrange to have them delmsited in the Adjutant General's oIlice for safe keeping. S:me plain 4lass cases along the walls would not ockpy iuc'i,!space and would knot cost m:c'i. Don't, you think you could get the Leigislature to allow you a small appropriation to start it and then invite people to.deposit their relic? Yours very truly, IM. C. BUTIER. G.mn. Farley has been thinuking over the sug:estion of Gen. Butler for some time. Yestcrday Gen. Kershaw came to the city and after a brief consulta tion lie and Gen. Farly called upon Governor Tillman. A consultation was hel,l by these three for quite a time. It was ecided to undertake the estab. lis"hmient of such a museum at once. Governor Tillman and Gen. Facley will not ask for an appropriation at this session of th General Assembly, but will allpr.)priate so much of their con timgent funds as may be necesEary to carry out the scheme. They request all lurtieS who have rclic3 of either war to seud them to Adjt. Gen. Farley, togther with a briet historical sketch of the articles. They will be properly taken cre of and marked with the name of the owner. Any articles that may have belon-ed to distinguished 3 men, any battle flags, or any articles 7 with isscciations of an historical nature, i etc., are watied. The object is to get as many of these rel*c i as possible into a the hands of the Adjutant, General by next fall, when a grand meeting of the [eOnple of the State will be arranged to be held inl the hall of the House of itep resentatives, at which the notable rel ics w#ll be pretsented and displayed by mni who know their history. This accoiplished, the Legislature will be akle<l to establish an attractive museum in 1he Capitol building. No doubt the ilan will meet with -et ral favor and Gen.
